Engine stalls

I have a interesting problem. My 350 starts and runs fine until she reaches operating temp. When i come to a stop she idles fine but when i step on the gas to go she bogs & then stalls out. I have to blip the gas to keep it from happening. If she's moving i have absolutely no problem. Pickup is good and performance seems fine. I only run premium in her so i don't believe its bad gas. Any ideas guys?

Re: Engine stalls

You can get bad gas no matter what grade it is. TPI, TBI, or carb?

Re: Engine stalls

Check for vacuum leaks around the intake area. Is the s.e.s. light on?

Re: Engine stalls

It's on the right hand side and glows a weird yellow and says check engine. If it's on then you might have a problem with a sensor like the throttle position sensor or something similar.
